Galveston Bay's inshore fisheries have expanded concurrent with declining
economies. While overall the Texas closure had little impact on either of the
inshore fisheries, the Galveston Bay shrimpers experienced more of a direct
impact on their livelihood than Calcasieu Lake shrimpers.

Laboratory, October, 41 pp.
A technical review of the biological status of the brown, pink, and
white shrimp fisheries was recommended by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council. This workshop was convened to assess the present status
of the fisheries, review stock assessment techniques and make recommendations
about areas of focus for research. The workshop panel was comprised of
national experts, state and federal officials, and the scientific support
staff from the NMFS, Galveston Laboratory.

Proposed Brown Shrimp Fishery Management Closures in the Gulf of
Mexico." Report for the GMFMC, January 1991. NMFS, Galveston
Laboratory, December, 27 pp.
In January, 1990, the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council
requested that the Southeast Fisheries Center investigate the feasibility of
improving the economic returns from the brown shrimp fishery through
cooperative management measures with Louisiana and other Gulf coast states.
During the past year, a simulation model was developed at the Galveston
Laboratory to study the impact of closure options on the brown shrimp fishery.
The basic premise of the model was to prohibit fishing on emigrating juvenile
brown shrimp and allow the population to increase to a larger and more
valuable average size. The complete analysis involved four phases: 1)
construction of the biological model to simulate yields in numbers of shrimp
and pounds; 2) calculation of revenues from simulated landings and regional
price structure; 3) determination of fishing costs based on published cost
information and data regarding the size of the fishery (i.e., number and type
of fishing vessels); and 4) simulation of four separate time period closure
options in the brown shrimp fishery for different regional areas within the
Gulf of Mexico.
